Last night Paris Papers, to the 25th ihst. artived, but they still leave us in the dark respefting the terms of the Treaty ; we find, however, that the French are making preparations for evacuating Vl enna • and Lower Austria. There is a considerable degree of confusion in these Papers respeating the time BUONAPARTE was to leave Schoenbrutin, and the route he intended to take. Ti ere is one passage in an article from Vienna, which appears to us rather strange, and in - some degree to countenance the report' which has been circulated espeeling BUONAPARTE'S illness. The article to which we allude states, that the number of Parades have been limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays, and adds, that on the 12th BUONAPARTE gave an audi ence to his Marshals, and had a tong conversation then. It seems strange that the mere circum stance of his talking to his General Officers should be deemed worthy of such particular notice. The recent changes which have taken place in the Administration have bad a very unfortunate etTea upon the temper of the Oppositidn Writers, and the anger of these Gentlemen is increased be the difficulty they find in discovering any plausible ground of attack. Personal abuse, however, is al ways easy, and numbers of persons will perpetually be found, to whose tastes and understanding coarse per,onality is better suited than candid investigation and sound argument. The plain 146 - t is', that every Administration, and every individual composing it, must expea the daily abuse of the Opposition Writers, until their own triends are invested with the Government of the ,Country. Every Admini stration must be weak and imbecile that is not. composed of their own friends. When Mr. PITT was called to the Government in 1804, the same charges, in the very same words, were preferred against the Administration which he then formed. When Lord BARHAM was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, it was boldly asserted that he was incompetent, from his age, for the duties of his situation, and yet his Naval Administration was th e most glorious this Cuuntri ever saw. •In t h e s h ort space of four months we obtained three great naval viatot ies, and nearly annihilated the navy of France. But the great crime of some of the present Mini sters is, that they are too young ; and the very same persons who thought that Lord HENRY PETTY was old enough to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, are quite convinced that Lord PALNIERSTON is too.young to be Secretary at War ! Such is the consistency of the opponents of Government, and such the diffi culty they find in obtaining materials for censure. The Peace, however, between Austria and France has afforded something like a new ground of decla mation : we are told that all our exertions have been unavailing, and we are asked whether Austria and Spain are not in the same situation that they would have been it not a man had left England ? We are ready to admit that the Expedition to Wal cheren did not succeed to the extent that was hoped; but it by no means follows that it produced no effel upon the affairs of the Continent ; we think it did produce a material effea. We know that at the commencement of the War between Austria and France, BuoN APA HIT threatened toannibilate the Austrian Empire. The Moniteur denounced destruc tion to the'', ince' sof the House of Lorraine ; the brave and loyal people of Hungary were told by BUONA PARTE. in a Proclamation, that he would give them a free Constitution, that they were to have a King of their own choosing, &c. A peace has been made, and the , e threats have not been carried into execution ; and can it be fairly argued that the exertions of Eng land have had no effeel in disappointing the plans of BUONAPARTO Can it be contended that 40,000 British troops in Walcheren and Beveland, even though they did not accomplish the ultimate object of the expedition, did not cripple the exertions and distract the force of the enemy ? But it is in vain to argue with those who will make any assertion, hcwever unfounded, or maintain any proposition, however absurd, merely to gratify pany hostility. Mr. CECIL JENKINSO! , I succeeds Mr. COOKE, as Under Sz•cl-etary of State in the Colonial Department, and Col. BuNBURY is peaed to be Private Secre tary to Lord LIVERPOOL. It has been stated, but without the slightest foutidatzu in fa&, that Mr. ROSE is to be Chancel of the Exchequer. Yesterday the Earls .uf LIVERPOOL and HARROW- By, and Mr. HAMILTON, transated business with Lord NILTLG.RAvE, at the• Admiralty. • We are concerned to hear that two considerable ;louses in the corn trade have stopped payment. • .NAVAL NEWS.

THE LATE DUKE OF PORTLANDSO very much did his Grace teel relieved on Monday afternoon af ter the operation for the stone was performed, that the most sanguine hopes were entertained of his re covery. Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Cline left Burling ton-house about tour o'clock ; Mr. Home remained. From the reports that had been male, the utmost joy • was diffused ;. and the different branches of the fa... mily drove abont in their carriages to inform their friends of the supposed happy relief experienced by his Grace from the incessant agony to which for the last fortnight he had been a martyr. About half past four, ho4ever the fatal fit came on, and termi nated his existence in a very few minutes. This was the third attack in the coot se of six days, his Grace having had two other fits on the preceding Tuesday. He died in the 72d year of his age. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PAntS, OCT. 24.—1 t is positively stated, that his Majesty the Emperor left Schoenbrunn on the Igth, at two o'clock in the afternoon. It appears certain, that his Imperial and Royal Majesty will pass a few days at Munich. Letters from the department of the Haute-Marne mention, that the Postmasters of Cliaumont, salves, and Langres, have received orders to have in readiness at Lonchamp and Saint Dizier, by the 22d, the number of horses necessary for the passage of the Emperor. It is expeeted that his Majesty the Emperor, be fore going to Fontainbleau, will stop for a few mi nutes at St. Cloud, where his arrival, we are assur ed, is momentarily expeCted. We hear from Lindau, that the Special Commis sion established in that city, by order of the King of Bavaria, for trying the instigators of the disturbances in the .Voralberg, continues its sittings. DoEtor Schneider is still continued in the town house; the most perfeEt tranquility prevails throughout the Vo ralberg. The fortifications of Lindau are going on with, and it affords pleasure to see the same Voral bergers working on them, who so recently were led astray by the disaffetled. They are fortifying the bridge-head only, and _not, as was erroneously re ported, extending the out-works, at the expence of the fine country seats in .the vicinity of the city. STRASBURGH, OCT. 20.—Yesterday a Courier arrived here, with orders to get ready for to-mor row a great number of horses. He set out again, to convey similar orders to all the posts on the road to Paris. This circumstance, and many others, lead us to expect that we shall, to-morrow, see our august and invincible Monarch. P. S. A second courier is said to have bro . nght word, that his Majesty will arrive this evening, and that he will pass the night here. GHENT, OCT. 2p.—The Guard of Honour who attended his Majesty during his stay in this city, when First Constd, in the year t 1 . , -have re-embo died themselves, in the expe&ation that his Majesty will condescend to visit this department. Several young men of our city, who did not belong to the Guard, have solicited and obtained the honour of being admitted into it. ,VIENNA, Ocr. 15.—T0-morrow, Peace will be formally proclaimed in this capital, by order of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon. Since the tst inst. the parades ac‘Sehoenbrunn have been limited to Sundays and Thursdays. Im mediately after that of the 12th, the Emperor gave audience in his Cabinet to the Marshalg at present in Vienna. His Majesty had a long conversation with them. The evacuation of the hospitals in Vienna is adively going on. The stores are conveyed towards St. Polten, and thence to the other establish= merits along the line of depots in the direction of Strasburgb. According to some reports which are in circula tion, but without any chara6ter of authenticity, re speaing the cessions made by Austria in the Treaty of Peace, that power will lose both the famous salt pits of Reichenhall, in the principality of Saltzburg, and those of Vielicza, near Cracow, which supply her different po , :sessions with salt. . Letters from Presbprg of the 1 ith mention, that the troop of the Austrian army, the major part.a which have been, for some time, concentrated -in the environs of Conlon], are on the point of being distributed in other emitters. The atmosphere of that fortress is insalubrious, and the troops are suh jea 'to various maladies in that marshy country. — This circumstance, with the happy turn which the riegociations hive taken, has induced the Emperor of Austria to permit a Certain number of regiments to go into cantonments in the circles farthest distant from the north of Hungary ;'enjoining them, never theless, 1.0 . hold themselves in readiness to return, at the earliest notice, to the positions which they hi therto occupied. Advises. from various sources concur in stating, that, immediately after the signature of Peace, the Emperor, of Austria intends to proceed to Pest, where he will reside with his family, until the' French troops have evacuated Vienna and Lower Austria. MVPIICII, OCT. 15.—The Courier which is to bring us notice of the precise time of the Emperor Napoleon's arrival, is expelled this evening. It is piobable, therefore, that we Shall not see his Ma : - jesty before the 16th in the evening, or the 17th. — Post horses and escorts are stationed 'along the road frorn Vienna to Linti, Passau, and MUnich. Ail the letters from Vienna contain various parti culars relative to the conditions of. Peace, but none of them contain any positive . statement on that sub jeet. It however appears Certain, that the payment of the contributions due by Austria occasioned con siderable difficulty. Two young girls at Ratisbon, the one 14, the other 15 years of age, having quarrelled about the affeCtions of a lover; provided themselves with a brace of pistols, belonging to the ,brother o,f one of them, and in the rage of their jealousy tired at each other, With the inuzzles almost touching; one of theM was killed on the 'spot, and the other dan gerously wounded. STUTGARD, OCT. 17.—(Eight in the Evening.)--. An Estafette, Whb left the Imperial head-puarters at St rasburgh' on the 14th, has this instant arrived here, with intelligence that peace has been signed be tween Fiance and her allies one one side, and Au stria on the other . . At the same time relays have beeu ordered for the service of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, who was to leave Schoenbrunn, the 15th, to pro ceed by way of Munich, Stutgard, aud.Strasburgh, to Paris. CAHLSRUHE, OCT. s.—All the family -of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke are assembled here to receive the Emperor Napoleon, and oiler him their homage. It is said that the hereditary Grand Duke will - accompany his Majesty to Stras burgh. Certain intelligence was received at our Court to day, that the Emperor Napoleon, left Schoen brunn on the fsth, at four o'clock in the after noon, and that orders had been given tb.:prociaim peace at Vienna on the Itith, with the greatest so lemnity. One hundred cannon will be fired from the ramparts of that city on the occasion. According to the accounts that we have receiv ed of his Majesty's intended journey, lie proposed to view the works lately constructed near the Abbey of Moelk, at Ebersberg, and in die vicinity of Lintz ; afterwards to visit Passau and the Court of Bavaria ; then Stutgard, and Louisburgh, by the way of Dachau, Augsburgh, Ulm, Goeslingen, and Goppinhen ; and then through Plorzeihrn and Dur lach to this city, where he will be received with the greatest honours. FRIBURG,IOCT 1 2.—His Excellency the Landam man, in a circular of the 4th instant, acquaints the Cantonal Governments with the serious complaints which have reached him from the French head quarters, respe6ting the harbouring of Austrian pri soners, who have escaped into the interior of Switzerland. The Landanaman requests the Can tons to redouble their measures of police against such of the prisoners as elude the vigilance of the mili tary cordon. LEI PZIC, OCT. 9.--n-fit is rumoured, that the Duke of Abranies will, in a very short time, re pair to Dresden, where he will make some stay; but it is not thought that his head-quarters *ill be transferred thither. Quarters are preparing at Friburg, in the Erzge-. birg, and at Pima, for troops which are expe&ed to arrive there immediately. The roads are covered with artillery, tumbrils; and waggons, laden with regimentals, and other ar ticles of military accoutrement, proceeding in tho diretion of Dresden. All the Saxon artillery, which was sent back from Magdeburgh to Dresden, is now mounted ori the outworks and ramparts of this place. A gr eat number of peasants continue to work, with the gar•. rison, upon the fortifications. MADRID, QcT. 11.—The Madrid Gazette re- , marks upon carious absurdities in that of Seville.. The effrontery of the official falsehoods of thelatter is not less singular than the dishonesty with which, at the mandate of the rebellious Junta, it. distorts the articles which it pretends to copy from the for' mer. It would, however, be too much to require, or to expect any regard for truth on the part ov men who are the prey of a spirit of fa&ion and discord. Truth is sufficiently avenged by their con midi& ions. . At one time an express from Gibraltar brings his Dritannie Majesty's consul at Cadiz authentic zntel ligence of the evacuation of Vienna and the environs by the French army, in consequenCe of a decisive a&ion ; at another, an English brig, arrived in the Tagus, announces that the Emperor of Austria bas formally refused to ratify the armistice. After pub; lishing so many victories, destroying 40,000, an ° upon another occasion 45,000 of the French, and wounding or killing 33 of their Generals, the G 3 ' zette of Seville must have found it not a little em barrassing to admit even the existence of this same armistice, It expresses • itself in terms of the warmest indignation with, regard to the articles of the ar" mistice. " It is really inconceivable," it observes, « that Austria can have assented to so . disgraceful an armis - What a profound sensation must it not pro duce in Europe ! All the conditions, from the first to the last, are degrading to the Sovereign of AO" stria, His best provinces, important citadels, * . i, e delivered ,up to. the French ! Countries into, whica their arms bad not penetrated, are spononeou sl Y ab.a.pdpued ti,lem! gqod iiii:/ t /4/ Toleap rdfa sac rificed ; and all this to purchase suspension of hostilities for one month. What more. could have been authorised by a situation corr/Piet." ly desperate ? ‘..r. But did the Emperor of Austria participate la this Treaty, the fruit of secret machinations, which we shall not at present dwell upon It seems cer" tain that lie did not, and that his surprise, on being informed of it, was very great. Nevertheless, ilaY' ing been urged by the Generalissimo, the .Arch duke, to execute the principal articles, the evil has become irremediable. All that now remains to this Emperor is to avail himself of the interval, in mak ing preparations for eventually renewing hostilities , with greater vigour than ever, if, as may be pre" Burned from an armistice so insulting to Austria, the conditions of peace proposed by Buonaparte should be the absolute submission of the House of Lorrain , and the dismemberment of its states arid entire pro" vitices." If persons well acquainted with the state of depen"_ dance to which the Junta is reduced, are to b e , credited, this article has been inserted by command of the Marquis Welleidey, who meddles in even concern. Such," adds the Madrid Gazette, a are the means employed by the pretended defenders of tliq Spanish people, in ()icier to perpetuate their blind ness ! But will not such glaring proofs of the ef frontery with which they sport with their credulity, have at length the effect of putting them on their guard against impositions, the offly tendency Of which is to hurry them on to their ruin ?" On the 14th inst. his Majesty issued the following decrees :- 1. The Archbishops, Bishops, Ecclesiastical Governors, and the Cathedral and Collegial Chapters of the kingdom, shall admit to open competitions in their churches and dioceses respealively, for the attainment of residentiary canonrics, cures, benefices, and other ecclesiastical investitures so disposed of, those Et-regulars of the suppressed congregation, who may, from their exercise, their talents, and conduct, be equally entitled to the collation of such livings as their competitors among the seculars. " 2. The parishes which have heretofore been subject to the spiritual jurisdiEtion of the Ex-regu lars, shall be placed under that of the Archbishops and Bishops, according to the territorial limits within which they may be situated, and shall be ruled and administered in the same manner as the other parts of their dioceses." • A third Decree places the wax , lights of the sup" pressed monasteries at the disposal of the Minister for Religious Affairs, to be appropriated to the use of such churches belonging to the said convents a 5 may be left open, or distributed among the p o orer parishes. A fourth Decree ena6is : " Whereas it is unjust that the disturbers of the realm should have thJ benefit of the dispositions re' lative to the public debt, every debenture upon the State, which shall not be presented within one month. for the visa of the Intendants of the Provinces , s lob be declared null and void; and be cancelled for th e benefit of the State."
